Simultaneous kissing stents are used in coronary bifurcation lesions only when the need for a future side branch access is deemed unlikely.

The difference between standard crush technique and step crush technique is that each stent is introduced into the vessel and deployed separately.

In both classic T stenting and modified T stenting for coronary bifurcations, both branches are initially wired and balloon dilated.

Culottes stenting technique for coronary bifurcation gives good coverage of the bifurcation, but has more metal in the proximal segment.

Lesion related factors predicting peri procedural myocardial injury: restenotic lesions, SVG disease, eccentric lesions, greater plaque / thrombus burden

Trancatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a fast developing modality for management of AS, especially those unfit for surgical replacement.

Percutaneous mitral valve repair using MitraClip device is done to to reduce the severity of mitral regurgitation.

Cutting balloon angioplasty for peripheral pulmonary stenosis if low pressure angioplasty fails, was more effective than high pressure balloon angioplasty.
